The FLA Board of Directors voted on February 7, 2018, to approve the accreditation of Fenix Outdoor’s social compliance program.
Fenix’s accreditation comes after the FLA conducted 16 SCI assessments in China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Latvia; two field visits to shadow internal audits in China and Estonia; and headquarters visits in Germany and Sweden.
The FLA accreditation report specifically recognizes as strengths Feinix’s top management commitment, comprehensive audit program and data analysis, and implementation of responsible purchasing practices, including the collection of supplier feedback via the Better Buying program.
